This book explores the political relationship between Scotland and England as it was negotiated in literature after the 1707 Act of Union. It is built around five discursive encounters between Scottish and English writers: Daniel Defoe-?Lord Belhaven, Tobias Smollett-?Henry Fielding, James Macpherson-?Samuel Johnson, William Wordsworth-?Robert Burns, and Walter Scott-?Thomas Percy.
